Understanding 9/11- Usage

An Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary, this 20 minute Technicolor production unfolds with graphic energy the nearly month long battle for Iwo Jima, a volcanic island lying 700 miles southeast of Japan, in which 20000 Japanese and nearly 7000 American fighting men were killed, a struggle eternalized by Joe Rosenthal's photograph of five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising a giant U.S. flag atop 550 foot high Mt. Suribachi, cinematically captured here in this well-edited (by Warner Bros.) effort.

Great film, but this appears to be a clipped version. Full running time is 47 minutes as noted, but this appears to be only 20.
Edit: I take it back. Though listed as 47 minutes at places like IMDB, the other versions I see posted online contain a second feature, "This is Guadalcanal," that fills out the remaining time. Anyone know the scoop?
